Way to go Great Clips - for coming through with the lettuce!

"Hairmantown has a new mayor...his name is Mike" 

"The Hair B&B - and Jake left the key under the mat"

"The Sinatra Salad - Vinigrettes - he's had a few - but then again, too few to mention"

Here's THE team boys:

So, both teams I saw last week at the Mooch in the section finals have made the semis after today's matinee session.

Blake got past MG by the skin of their teeth. 7-5 with an empty netter. Crazy third period

Speaking as a guy who was all over him in his first few years as a Hab - Waiting for him to be "used right to showcase his skills" - what you are seeing presently is what you get, unfortunately.

...Aaaaand Warroad is in the process of making it 3-for-3.

Yay Hutch for making the record books though. When you allow a kid to tie a record John Mayasich set in 1951...that's not what they had in mind methinks (5 points in one period)

Two wipeouts in two Class A Quarterfinals so far.

You could knock me over with a feather

PS - Thanks @CreaseAndAssist for the heads up on this book.  I am about  half way though it ... just getting now to most of the games/tourney's I remember from my youth - so it's getting really good - The perfect buildup to the tourney itself.

As is my custom, I went to the Mooch last Wednesday for the 2AA and 6AA finals - saw two very good games - both decided by one goal - and I think Blake and Eden Prairie will both make some noise.  Clearly I have not seen Andover so I can't speak for them, but I could see Blake winning the AA.

I used to broadcast Hutch games and would like to seem them do well - but being the #8 seed and playing Warroad in the quarters doesn't bode well for the Tigers.

Gorgeous day! Head to Rice Park if you need Tix! Only chance all year to see the best player in puck....I've got a fist fulla tix

Oh boy.....Justin Morneau and Joe Mauer announced our opponent for the Winter Classic. And it's the Blues.

Yawn. Being that the Wilds have no rivals or star players they chose the defending cup champs. I'll be selling tickets out front then heading to the bars for NCAA football

Wait?!?! Suter, Parise and Koivu are "problems" in the room ?!?!

There's been speculation about Granny coming back. We'll have to reserve Chucky for him!

Just saying, he has always been Chucky ... Gally is Brendan Gallagher

Let's be more positive. I rarely talk about our veterans ( they are what they are - not much we can do with them). Some day they will go. But I am always more interested in a progress of our promising prospects.   Otherwise, as a rule we need to fire 2 head coaches per season to wake up the team and keep it in a consistent decent tone during the regular season.  Also that was the 1st adjustment game  with a new interim coach. It seems he is not so emotional as it was Bruce. I do not know if that good or not. Maybe it is good. We will see late. Despite the veterans did not shoot enough we still were able to make 39 shots. The most did Ek - 5; Fiala-4; Foligno-4. 39 shots in one game is not happening very often  for our team. Sharks barely did any shots (20 shots; only Burns had 3 shots; and the rest of the team did 1 or 2 shots), but kept the game simple with a minimal rebounds for Jones.

Thanks it's in my top 5 favourites in my collection

Brisk sales tonight

Decided to come in for the second stanza. If you see a guy in a '67 Oakland Seals #5 VADNAIS sweater ... say hi.

Fricken Zoooker has two markers vs us tonight after two stanzas

As much as I am loathe for the lameass shootout, there is no question his body and more importantly, the biscuit, were both going backwards ... a total violation of shootout "rules"

A piece today on Chucky from TR

You have your own opinion, but I have my own personal opinion too of what I have seen and what I have read and compared. Special for the forth time for you : Zucker did that in 10 seconds, who was single in a Wild history for doing the fastest goal because of his speed of moving. No one passed him in that task and I think, no one will ever repeat that task for the Wild in a nearest future.  Regarding Gaborik - read my previous message.( People from different forums were saying same things - he was very fast fantastic goal scorer for the Wild, but his continuous groin problems limited his highest potential speed and ability to play every game because of that). 

 

Dear Captain Obvious:' It's not a newsflash to 'inform' all of us that Gabby had a glass groin. That fact, in no way, shape or form precludes him from clearly being the fastest player this franchise has ever seen. It's not close.

Also...what does scoring the fastest goal have to do with the fastest player?!?!

You'd be hard pressed to identify any NHL'er (including fully-equipped goalies) who can't manage to get from centre ice to the goal line in 10 seconds!

Tone it back some. Give the hyperbole a break.

Gaborik was a highest scoring machine(single so far) for the team who always had groin problems limiting his speed, but was not a highest speeding machine. I do not remember a higher speed than Zucker had for any other players. He was the most fastest in the Wild history. 

You can re-word it a third time, and you'll still be wrong.

Just now, Alexandron said:

Agree with that. We have got rid out of our fastest player in  the Wild history. Bad mistake for the organization. I sincerely liked him a lot even when he was playing in the 4th line, because he was bringing benefits for the team and excitement to watch his speed and his chances to score. Very valuable 2 way player. Hope, he will get a chance to get a cup in his career. Wish Jason Zucker and his family all the best! Agree also, that we stockpiled lots of promising picks in AHL and minor leagues and even not giving them a chance to move to the big club.  Sad to observe that.  What is the reason for that? I do not know. And I would blame Zucker's trade for 2 years in a row not to Fenton or Guerin, but on our head coach Bruce Boudreau. I am sure that was his wish to get rid of him, but not general managers. 

That was Gaborik
